April is a joy here. We are finally leaving the hotter months behind and, if we are lucky, will get some rain to nourish the parched ground. In the meantime it is warm enough to garden comfortably (rather than tooooo hot) and the trees are starting to blaze with autumnal colour. Bliss.

Autumn is my favourite season of all and I love thinking of it as an Autumn month the way you have it in Australia, Soosie. I am so glad you are enjoying comfortable weather after this very hot Summer you had 🙂

So far April has been a little timid about showing herself here in southern Ontario. We’ve had a smattering of snow and some really strong winds….add some cold weather and Miss April hasn’t been properly told that we’ve turned the calendar page from Miss March. The showers will come…we’re getting more sunshine and hearing more birds as they busily build their nests….but no matter what she does, I’ve always got a huge spot of love in my heart for Miss April! xo

many years ago, my husband and i attended a college reunion. there was a memorial service for those who had died since the last reunion, and it was held outdoors in pouring rain. under umbrellas, i listened to many moaning about the weather. in that moment, i decided to see and experience weather differently…this is how i feel about april’s unpredictability. happy to enjoy the ride of change.
